These are the best places in Europe to start a new business

The European Statistical System dumped a bunch of data earlier in
the month, which let us find out that German people
get married
more than the French.We also learned that Italy is one
of the only places in Europe where
women get paid more as a woman. The figures also show the
countries in Europe that have the best enterprise birth
rate.

Enterprise birth rate is a key indicator of how entrepreneurial
people are, and how friendly their nations are to entrepreneurs.
It's the number of new enterprises set up, as a proportion of the
total number of firms existing in the country.

It counts the percentage of new businesses that started up
in the past year. The higher the percentage when talking about
enterprise birth rate, the more dynamic a country's economy is.
Or at least, that's the theory.

Eurostat

Eurostat's data shows that some of the most entrepreneurial
nations in all of Europe are the Baltic states. Both Latvia and
Lithuania have enterprise birth rates of more than 13%, and
Estonia's is not much lower. The stats show the Poland is also a
highly entrepreneurial nation, and every single one of its
regions had an EBR of more than 13%.

Lagging behind in the creation of new businesses are both Austria
and Belgium. They both had really low rates of enterprise birth -
less than 7% in total. Lots of regions in Portugal and Italy
struggled to create new businesses as well.

As a whole the UK did fairly well, and saw an enterprise birth
rate of between 10-13%. Much of the France, Portugal and Belgium
also had a similar percentage of new businesses. In general, the
rest of Europe had EBRs of between 7-10%.
